Pleasant weather returns to Pittsburgh on Friday, but a heat wave looms
Humidity breaks today, even as high temperatures go up. Earlier this week, model data was showing today's high being cooler than yesterday's high. I didn't bite and kept today's temperature warmer than yesterday's, and it looks like a good call at this point. WEATHER LINKS: Current Conditions | School Closings & Delays | Submit Your Weather Photos The one thing that will be noticeably lower than yesterday will be dew points and oppressive humidity. Dew points are all the way down in the upper 50s right now, and that's about where they will be all day today. Conditions in Pittsburgh today KDKA Weather Center This has allowed morning temperatures to dip to near 60 to start the day. There was some valley fog due to the cool temperatures and saturated ground this morning. The pleasant weather will continue into the afternoon with highs hitting the mid-80s. I have noon temperatures near 80 degrees. Winds will be light, coming in out of the west at around 5mph. Expect lots of sunshine today, but a pesky shower or storm chance will persist this afternoon. I think almost everyone is dry, with the best chance for seeing a brief storm happening north of Cranberry and after 3 this afternoon. Saturday will be a transition day with us starting off with pleasant conditions, but humidity will go up throughout the day. I have Saturday highs hitting 87°. Temperatures and heat index over the next six days KDKA Weather Center Our first potential heat wave of the year arrives on Sunday, with temperatures flirting with 90 degrees all the way through at least next Sunday. History tells us that we likely won't see eight straight days with highs in the 90s, but it will certainly be possible. At this point, it doesn't look like we get too close to an overall record high temperature day in Pittsburgh. Places in our area that will be under Excessive Heat Watch beginning on Sunday KDKA Weather Center We'd have to hit 95° in order to set a record (Monday, Thursday) next week, and I don't have us getting to 93°. We may hit what we call a record max-min. This would be the hottest low temperature. Right now I have us tying the max-min record of 74° on Tuesday. Right now is the time to prepare for the heat, including checking a/c units to make sure they're working properly. You can also clean fan blades. Eating cool foods can also help to cool your body's internal temperature. Finally, cold showers are one of the best ways to stay cool in your home, both before and after it. If you can't get relief while at your home, head to your local library. 7-day forecast: June 20, 2025 KDKA Weather Center Stay up to date with the KDKA Mobile App – which you can download here!

Damaging, disruptive storms to target NYC, Philly and DC
The same setup that brought close to 300 wind damage incidents and a dozen reports of tornadoes in the Midwest on Wednesday will focus on the Atlantic Seaboard from Quebec to the Carolinas into Thursday night, AccuWeather meteorologists warn. High humidity levels combined with a ripple in the jet stream will unleash one or more lines of thunderstorms that will progress from the Appalachians and Piedmont areas toward the Atlantic coast into Thursday night. "As the storms approach the airports at the major metro areas from New York City to Philadelphia and Washington, D.C., airline delays and ground stops will increase dramatically. Some flights may even be cancelled," AccuWeather Chief Meteorologist Jonathan Porter stated. "Such delays and cancellations at these major airports have a tendency to spread quickly elsewhere in the United States air system because planes and crews are not where they need to be based on the existing schedule, resulting in cascading delays and cancellations." Motorists should be prepared for high water and sudden poor visibility as the storms approach. Roads that tend to flood during downpours should be avoided. Powerful wind gusts in many of the storms will average 60-70 mph with an AccuWeather Local StormMax™ gust of 85 mph. Due to the saturated ground in some areas, strong wind gusts during storms can easily push over trees or break off rotting limbs, leading to power outages. There will be an elevated risk of tornadoes in an area from upstate New York and northwestern New England to parts of central and eastern Quebec. This includes the major Canadian metro areas of Quebec City and Montreal, as well as Burlington, Vermont; Albany, New York; Pittsfield, Massachusetts; and Lebanon, New Hampshire; in the northeastern United States. •Have the app? Unlock AccuWeather Alerts™ with Premium+ A small number of the storms can also bring pea- to marble-sized hail, which, when combined with strong winds and torrential downpours, can damage crops in fields, plants in backyard gardens and other vegetation. As the storms creep along, flash flooding along small streams and urban areas can occur. Two or three storms may blast some locations into Thursday evening. Storms in the metro areas of Richmond and Norfolk, Virginia, as well as Charlotte and Raleigh, North Carolina, may be somewhat more widely separated but can still be severe in some neighborhoods and lead to damage and travel disruptions into Thursday evening. Some thunderstorms and severe weather are also anticipated from South Carolina to Georgia, Florida and Alabama. However, a few storms in these areas can still pack a punch at the local level with brief wind gusts, torrential rain and a sudden cluster of lightning strikes. As a massive dome of heat builds from this weekend to next week, rounds of severe thunderstorms will erupt on the northern edge from the Midwest to parts of the Northeast.

Map shows "heat dome" that could raise temperatures to 100 degrees in Boston
Thursday's hot weather may have just been the appetizer. A "heat dome" developing on the East Coast could send temperatures to 100 degrees in Boston next week. After toiling our way through a difficult spring full of rainy Saturdays, summer has literally and figuratively arrived. The summer solstice officially occurs at 10:42 p.m. on Friday. Our longest days of the year and highest sun angles are here. What is a heat dome? Right on cue, a giant heat dome will be forming over most of the eastern half of the United States. The term "heat dome" is just another way of saying a large area of high pressure. This promotes sinking, warming air over a large area and will lead to numerous record high temperatures being set as well as the first heatwave for many in the Northeast. WBZ-TV graphic CBS Boston It's been about a year since we had a heat wave in the Boston area. In fact, we had two in 2024 - one in June and one in July, both of which lasted the minimum requirement of three days. Heat wave possible in Boston The fringe days are always the hardest to predict. Some towns could hit 90 on Sunday while others will fall short. Wednesday currently looks to top out in the mid 80s, but we can't rule out that forecast changing. WBZ-TV graphic CBS Boston Monday and Tuesday look like "locks" for temperatures to soar well into the 90s. In fact, we will likely challenge some record high temperatures on those two days in the city of Boston and throughout New England. Heat could set records in Massachusetts We are forecasting the record of 95 degrees on Tuesday (set in 2013) to be shattered. If we were to hit the century mark in Boston, it would only be the 28th time in recorded history and the first occurrence since 2022. It would also equal the all-time June record, set last in 2021. As of this writing, it's possible that many of our suburbs will nick 100 next Tuesday afternoon. WBZ-TV graphic CBS Boston We will see some "cooler" weather later next week, likely along with a chance for thunderstorms. If your occupation requires you to be outdoors and in the sunshine for long stretches of time, we urge you to be cautious next week. When the heat indices reach near or over 100 degrees, heat stroke is a real concern. Please be sure to check on those without air conditioning or ways to cool down. And of course, don't forget the pets - they get hot too.
